Summary: Good book
Review: Even if you haven't heard Michael W. Smith's album of the same name, you should read this book! I highly recommend this book for everyone, but especially for teens who face the difficult task of trying to grow up in today's mixed-up world.The title of the book, "This is Your Time", is also the title of a song he wrote after the Columbine tragedy. Michael tells about his experience singing at the memorial service and talking to Cassie Bernall's parents (check out my review of Misty Bernall's book "She Said Yes"). But this book isn't just about Columbine. Michael talks about the death of Rich Mullins (which deeply affected me as well) and Rich's impact on people. Michael also was a good friend of the late Bob Briner (author of Roaring Lambs) and he encourages Christians to get out there and make a difference. He quotes Hebrews 12:1... "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." Amen! (You might want to check out my other reviews of Christian books and music)

Summary: I love it!
Review: I love this book! I just got it the other day and read it straight through in 2 sittings the same day. I love the way he has of putting the personal touch into his books. I love how he told the story of meeting Cassy Bernall's parents and the survivors of Columbine. He also talks about how he wrote his song, This Is Your Time. It's A great companion volume for Misty's book: She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassy Bernall. If you havent read Michael's other books yet, make sure to give them a try: Friends are Freinds Forever, My Place in this World, and It's time to be Bold.

Summary: This Is Your Time: Make Every Moment Count
Review: If you don't know Michael W. Smith, musically or as an author, this book is a great introduction to his spirit. His telling story of the Columbine tragedies affect on himself and what we all can learn from it is time well spent. Read the book, listen to the song, reflect on the meaning. Works like these in words and music bring some strange value to a tragedy at a time when we increasingly are asking "why"?

Summary: I can't believe nobody has reviewed this yet!
Review: So much for _unlucky 13_! Michael's 13th album is great! The best songs are This is Your Time (a tribute to Cassie Bernall, the girl who was MURDERED at Columbine last year because she believed in God), and I Will Be Your Friend. Most of the others are good too, but the ambum is worth the cost just for these two!

Summary: Good book
Review: This book is basically about Michael W. Smith's song, This is Your Time, and what it means. The song was written for Cassie Bernall, the Columbine High School student who was supposedly asked if she believed in God, and answered yes, before she died. The book is really good, I recommend it. the only thing, it gets a bit preachy at times, which I hate (and yes, before anyone asks, I am a Christian), but it's a really good book. it'll help you find insight. read it. you wont regret it.

Summary: This Is Diffenitly YOUR Time! Make it Count!
Review: This was a great book. At some points, very moving. My mom was reading the begining to me and had to stop because she was crying. The main idea of this book is: How Michael W. Smith came up for the idea of the song, THIS IS YOUR TIME. He got it from Rachel Scott after the Columbine shootings. This book also tells of some of MWS's own struggles and triumphs. It is a great book. A somber one at times, but true to the core. Please read this book and pass on its message: THIS IS YOUR TIME! MAKE IT COUNT!

Summary: great book
Review: What a great book to read! This is really a good time to evaulate our lives in a modern world with a message to all that the test is yet to come. May it be the next munute, hour , day or month we should try to do our best work. Smitty does gives some personal highlights of what he is doing to make his moment count, as we should make our time count. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and kept reading until I finished the book (it was a good time reading and getting to know him).
